Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi Emma (2 1/2 yrs) also complains about tummy aches during episodes and sometimes in between. I think it is normal to have stomach aches with episodes and also you may get more of the syptoms as they get older. E.g. we never used to get tummy aches, joint aches, swollen glands, just the fevers. Bit by bit we got all of those. Still no mouth ulcers though. Another thing is that apparently kids until the age of 5 or so, frequently say they have tummy aches even if something else hurts. It's hard for them to localise where the pain is and when they are just generally unwell they tend to say it's their tummy. If it persists I would still have her checked out though. Hope this helps Take care Inga ___________________________________________________________ Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with For Good http://uk.promotions./forgood/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I was just at the pediatrician with my son today. We always end up talking about my daughters and he mentioned some new findings about abdominal pain being a factor in something like 25% of the cases - but I don't remember the % he used. He siad it is even more common than swollen lymph nodes. He also said he now has about 8 cases of . Definitely becoming more common.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Did he say if the stomach ache had to be during the episodes or could it also be hurting in between? My son gets it now and then after having had 2 or 3 spoons of food (havent found any pattern in what food it is - one time: rice, peas and ground meat, the other: oat flakes and milk. Food allergy suggestions are welcome!). Does anybody else recognize this in their own kids? Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 , you have to remember that these are inflammatory disorders. These kids will commonly experience swelling in the joints during an episode as well as swelling in the lining of the stomach and swelling in the lining of the lungs. To a young child, these can best be described as tummy aches but they are very real and can be quite painful. Pat, mom to PJ, 15 years old, clinical fmf, manassas,va.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have found the article and will send to Fran. It quotes 65% of these studied had abdominal pain. The article is not that new - about a year and a half old, but was published again last fall. ~Ginger Systems Solutions Principal, CAR Financial Services Work: (770) 828-1397 TREO: (404) 915-5035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 My son aged 9 has complained of getting stitches when he walks fast or runs, during a fever episode he eats as little as possible with us coaxing small amounts of bland food to try and keep his energy up a little. He has never had a great apetite and has lost a weight going from average to below 25% average weight in last 6 months. Jeanette mum to fevering for 11 months.
